Sharing downloaded games between two Wii-U consoles we own
We have a wii u upstairs, and just recently bought one for the basement. We have several downloaded versions on the upstairs box already, specifically Mario Kart 8. Are we able to play that game in the basement as well, without paying full price for it again? (I wish now that just purchased the hard copy as that could have been transferred between consoles when needed.)

Can you transfer games from one Wii U to another?
The Wii U to Wii U system transfer feature, implemented with the system update released July 21st, 2014, allows you to transfer content from one Wii U to another Wii U. Content from the source console, including any users, Nintendo Network IDs, save data, and digital content, will replace that on the target console.Can you link two Wii U consoles?
Power on both Wii U consoles. Ensure a Wii U GamePad has been paired to each Wii U console. Set up an Internet connection on both the source and target Wii U consoles. Both consoles must be connected to the same network during the transfer process.Are Wii U games tied to account?
According to GameSpot, Nintendo Switch will tie all its digital purchases to the account of the user and not on a specific piece of hardware. For the Nintendo Wii U, games are linked to the user's console, so if he/she wants to re-download the games on a new system, it will be impossible.[Wii U] Transferring \
